A free verse poem about the horrors of war

A bloodbath of unspeakable horror
The stench of decaying bodies
Guns blazing
The screams of death and pain
The sun sets on a barren wasteland
Of a once fruitful plain
Watchful soldier, careful of danger
Shooting at the smallest sound
Night envelops the American camp
But the soldier never sleeps
